This action was to be predicted upon u find in i; of tho tariff roniuiittuiun, composed . of, six- member*. Tho tariff commis sion wan supposed to bo a fact lindinK body without political prejudice of any sort, but com posed n< vor-t lie-leas of members of the two old parties. The actual working of the law, especially with reference to the sugar schedule Which in now a storm center, ha* proved to be an> thing but "icMntlfie" The tar iff commission has split aloim partisan linns. It has differed on what figures should be obtained, how they should be obtained, and what they would represent after being obtained. The "scientific" discussions within the commission are said to have stopped Just short of Marquis of Quoensberry rule*. Tho chairman of the com mission. Mr. Marvin, and the vice chairman. Mr. Culbertson, have been particularly at outs. Their relatious have been those of two bull dogs meeting as perfect st rangers. ^ It was not surprising, thero n?re, that two totally opposite re ports wi re submitted to tho Pres ident .

Mr. Cool Id go In maintaining the high tariff principle, feels he Is amply supported by the party platform adopted at Cleveland. The President regards the tar lfT as an Inevitable issue of the campaign and is said to welcome It. Senator taFollette has chosen to deliver the first blow nt tho tarlfT and has promised to keep the hot shot pouring at the Re publican defenses from now until tiectlon day. Although efforts have been made to show the pro gressive candidate that the sugar tariff Is essentially a farmer tar iff. designed to protect the Amer ican growers of cane and sugar hoots against the competition of cheaper labor in Cuba. Senator La t oilette says he will not let up but will light TtiV sugar schedule to a finish. Mr. Davis* elucidation on his own tariff views and his Interpre tation of the party platform adopted at Madison Hquare Gar den. are awaited with unusual In terest. In an audress 111 hi* frl? low West Virginians at the time they first endorsed him for the Presidency, Mr. Davis stated that ho believed In a "competitive tar iff." which should also produce "ample" revenues for the Govern ment. The party platform also calls for a tarlfT which would per mil American competition with the other countries of the worTd. The phrase "competitive tariff" has b? en growing In favor in Democratic circles during tho past few years.

Made Man A Nose That Was As Real As Life Dr. J. II. While.

The man who wanted the nose had had a cancer and though the rancer had been uprooted It had taken with It the outer structure c.r (fie DOM that projects from the face and forms an Important -part-of the ?rehHttcturc_iiX the hu m an face. "Hut making noses Isn't my business." protested Dr. White. In response to the man's solicita tions. "I'm a dentist.". "Yen, and you're an artlut and a genius," declared the Insistent nose hunter, "ind I know you can make me a nose to flt my face just as you make plates to fit a mouth for false teeth." "Well, bring me a photograph of yourself before you lost your nose and I'll try It," agreed Dr. White This the man did. and Dr. White carefully placed oiled silk over the man's eyebrows and mus tache, filled up his nostrils with cotton and then, giving his face a coat of vaseline, he made- a plas ter of parhi cast of It. Next with the aid of the photograph and the I cast he modeled a nose of wax. ifpom Wtrfch was east A rnold, then from this mold was made the real nose of hard white rubber. The nose was colored with 'oil paint* j to match the gentleman's com [plexlon properly and It was se cured In place at the top by the noRppkce of t li ?? man's spectacles nnd on tho sides by a bit of wax. Crltlca pronounced the nose nothing loss than perfect. Cer tainly, It was n wonderful Im provement over no nose at all. The man became mayor of the town. He married, and lived hap pily ever after. * ? Once hi* wan attending n fltatr convention of the Maaonlc Order and waa rooming with another , monitor of the order from anoth er part of the State. They had the same room during the whole convention and on the last ni^ht "TTie subject of spectacles' and eyes came up. when the Man-wlth-the Noae aald: "I have to wear spoc taclea with wlrea that fit behind my ears to hold my noao on." The remark waa, of courae. tak en for a Jest. but he promptly demonatrated to hla roommate that he was telling the truth by removing hla glasses and hla nose (together, much to the amazefm-nt and horror of the brother Maaon, who could scarcely believe his eyea until he had heard the whole story. The man whose face Dr. White S> skillfully reatored has been pad these many years. The few people who knew the story have ceased to talk about It, and it only cam* to light the other day when a newapaperman was In Dr White's office and the dentist was noarchlng In a drawer of hla desk i for a book on Orthodontia and j came across the pictures of the ? man whose nose ho had restored and. nt the request of the news paper man," told the story. "It happened a long time ago," said Or. White.
